grant all on uri from spark

Question

While running hiveContext.sql("grant all on uri 'file:/path/to/file' to role 'public'"); with Spark 1.6.2 I'm getting following error: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticException: Hive authorization does not support the URI or SERVER objects.

Is there any way to execute this query form spark? Should I add other privileges to current user before the query?

Grant all on database works perfectly.
